Book of the Week RFK Funeral Train by Paul Fusco Thirty-nine years ago this week in Los Angeles, Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated. A funeral train carried his body from New York City to Washington, D.C. In RFK Funeral Train, Paul Fusco documents the funeral train procession. Despite the hot weather, hundreds of thousands of people stood along the train tracks waiting to pay their respects. | Join the Fray © Marilyn Silverstone / Magnum Photos What do you think of these photos?
